Shopify Academy

Modern times call for modern solutions, and for many business owners that means e-commerce. With future uncertainty in the brick-and-mortar medium, businesses big and small alike are turning their efforts to the digital realm.

As Shopify has grown into one of the most popular e-commerce platforms available,  the company has also put out a myriad of resources through the Shopify Academy. Simply put, Shopify Academy helps individuals navigate the ins and outs of the Shopify platform. Where to start though? Fortunately, we’re here to help. We decided to compile some useful information that might help kick-start your campaign.

How Does Shopify Work?

To start, let’s take a look at how Shopify is typically used. There are a number of features that set apart Shopify from their competition, including:

  • Unlimited number of products added

  • Two staff accounts

  • 24/7 staff support

  • Sales channels (other online channels and social media)

  • Manual order creation

  • Discount codes

  • Free SSL certificate (this keeps your website safe from malicious attacks)

  • Abandoned cart recovery

If you’re reading this, you’re probably already invested in creating digital revenue streams. We’ve covered the basics of e-commerce and Shopify in another post here (no link for Shopify blog yet), so be sure to check it out if you’re still deciding.Images: Illustrated graphics of the shopify logo, a shopping cart, a padlock, and a customer service representative.

However, if you’ve already begun the process and are looking for help increasing your business, then Shopify Academy is for you. Shopify Academy has so many different courses that are tailored to specific needs, it would be impossible to cover everything in place. Instead, we’ll take a look at a few different courses and how they can help transform your business.

Within the Academy there are courses for beginners, experienced users, and everyone in between. Let’s start with the basics.
